Conclusions drawn from false analogies are inherently incorrect. In Michael Hurd's attempt to simplify the complex challenge of providing basic healthcare for all our citizens he only succeeded in insulting the reader's intelligence and trivializing one of the most serious concerns of our society.
Providing this basic care will benefit us all both financially and morally. The only ones to lose will be the very well reimbursed insurance industry and drug industry, that are spending tens of millions trying to continue their "gravy train." Let us use our collective intelligence to solve the healthcare needs of all our citizens, both rich and poor. This is a serious time for serious people.

A letter to the editor expresses a reader's opinion and, as such, is not reflective of the editorial opinions of this newspaper.
To submit a letter to the editor for publishing, send an email to viewpoints@capegazette.com. All letters are considered at the discretion of the newsroom and published as space allows. Due to the large volume of submissions, we cannot acknowledge receipt of each submission. Letters must include a phone number and address for verification. Keep letters to 400 words or fewer. We reserve the right to edit for content or length. Letters should be responsive to issues addressed in the Cape Gazette rather than content from other publications or media. Letters should focus on local issues, not national topics or personalities. Only one letter per author will be published every 30 days regarding a particular topic. Authors may submit a second letter within that time period if it pertains to a different issue. Letters may not be critical of personalities or specific businesses. Criticism of public figures is permissible. Endorsement letters for political candidates are no longer accepted. Letters must be the author’s original work, and may not be generated by artificial intelligence tools. Templates, form letters and letters containing language similar to other submissions will not be published.
